In this video, we're going to be taking a look at user agent switcher.

00:04.590 --> 00:08.790
And this is a browser add on that we could add on to Firefox or Chrome.

00:09.630 --> 00:16.110
So in this example, we're going to be adding on to Firefox here so you can either go through the App

00:16.110 --> 00:23.060
Store or you can do a simple search for user agent switcher, which we have here now.

00:23.070 --> 00:25.350
It's a pretty easy install for Firefox.

00:25.350 --> 00:28.890
I'm just going to click on Add Firefox hidden up in here.

00:28.890 --> 00:33.240
I'm going to go ahead and click Add, and we can see the extension is up in here.

00:34.680 --> 00:43.080
So the use case for use user agent switcher is user agent switcher essentially mimics different browsers,

00:43.080 --> 00:43.980
so let's take a look.

00:44.370 --> 00:51.420
So click up in here and we can see these different types of desktop and mobile browsers so I can make

00:51.420 --> 00:51.990
this thing.

00:51.990 --> 01:01.950
Think it's a see Android phone running Firefox 83 or an iPhone with Safari, 12.1.1 or iPad or even

01:01.950 --> 01:03.120
desktop environments.

01:04.610 --> 01:09.200
No certain certain applications will be looking for mobile devices.

01:09.830 --> 01:13.010
And if you're doing a Osim investigation, you're doing data collection.

01:13.730 --> 01:17.870
Well, chances are a lot of your tools are going to be on your computer, not on a mobile device.

01:17.870 --> 01:25.750
So you really want to be able to emulate that their mobile device setup.

01:25.760 --> 01:29.760
So this is where using user agents, which comes in handy.

01:29.780 --> 01:30.640
So let's see.

01:31.130 --> 01:38.690
And when I went this thing to think it's no phones of running Safari 12.1.1, we can simply click this

01:38.690 --> 01:40.310
and then we could just browse wherever.

01:42.230 --> 01:44.940
So we're typing Google and come.

01:45.590 --> 01:46.220
There we go.

01:46.340 --> 01:51.890
So this thing essentially thinks it's a iPhone running running the browser here.

01:53.060 --> 01:56.000
Likewise, we could change this to say.

01:57.090 --> 02:03.420
We we want to do an Android tablet running Chrome, and then we can we can go in here, we can click

02:03.420 --> 02:07.710
on this and he'll pull the page and it thinks it's a Android tablet.

02:07.720 --> 02:11.970
You can see and hear how the different form, anyhow, it's kind of scrunched in here.

02:13.310 --> 02:18.770
Now, one caveat when you're running this, you may notice that things may take a little while longer

02:18.770 --> 02:20.810
to kind of to pull up the pages.

02:21.380 --> 02:22.880
This does happen sometimes.

02:23.000 --> 02:28.400
From what I notice, it's probably because it's trying to emulate that type of browser.

02:28.400 --> 02:31.160
So don't be too alarmed if that happens.

02:31.160 --> 02:32.630
Just can't keep that in mind.

02:33.590 --> 02:36.020
So overall, a really cool program.

02:36.530 --> 02:41.720
Again, this is user agent switcher and are is for both Chrome and Firefox.

02:41.930 --> 02:42.740
Thanks for watching.

02:42.770 --> 02:43.580
I'll see you next VIDEO.
